Dear All,
I don’t know whether it is a good forum section or not for my problem. I have a problem with xen. As I know there are no specific section for xen in openSUSE forum.
In short: xen can not provide usb support to my HVM domain
I have a PC with Intel Core i5 650 CPU which provide all Intel VT extensions.
Intel® Core
My config:
openSUSE 11.2
Linux linux-n0km 2.6.31.14-0.2-xen #1 SMP 2010-10-07 19:06:53 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
xen
linux-n0km:~ # rpm -qa | grep xen

I created a guest domain:

according lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020
Using QEMU console command usb_add unsuccessful (see article bellow)
After starting my guest Windows XP, I can not find any USB devices in guest.
The best article that I found:
[Xen-users] Solved, but rather a crutch (Was: Passing USB device - Xen Source](http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-03/msg00029.html)
The article contains some good idea like mounting /proc/bus/usb
After all, I can not use the usb under xen HVM domain.
Any help appreciated to resolve that deadlock situation.
